The best attribute of Marcus are his brain and work ethic. He will out work everyone and he processes things better than anyone out there.

You think successful QB's in this league aren't almost all psycho about their work ethic?

He's not an outlier in NFL at QB if he works his arse off, he's the norm.

Again, in college he did well at this in his Oregon system. He has to learn an entirely new style of play.

I don't wish poorly on the kid, he seems like a great guy and I think he could be a good QB in the NFL.

He's not Andrew Luck and the Titans are still fricking stupid for taking a QB with question marks #2 when their team blows at 10 other positions.

The work ethic is the only reason he has a shot in hell at being a serviceable QB. I don't think it places him in elite QB territory or anywhere close to it.

You don't think Rodgers, Brees, Brady, Manning have the same work ethic that Mariota has? But they also have thousands of reps in pro-style schemes. You can't just make up for that lack of experience by just working hard. It's just going to take time, time he doesn't have.
